"Now that the spell is broken we should be able to see the truth of whatever it is they covered." Harley said. Ace and Harley silently crept through the house. Every single thing was different and not in a good way. The walls were worn and soaked with blood. Ritual candles sat on the floor all along the hallways. If that wasn't enough to make them sick to their stomach, when they entered the room where they had just ate dinner with the sisters there was a ghastly sight. The delicious fish was replaced with human body parts. Eyes, hands, slices of flesh, tongues, and the drinks were now thick blood.
"I think I'm going to puke." Ace said. "The powers of dark magic are scary." Harley said. They opened the front door and were about to run for their lives but had to make a change of plans. Instead of the sister's house being the only one, numerous other shacks with black magic charms hanging from them, surrounded them on all sides. The beautiful forest was now a damp swamp. "We need to get out of here." Ace said. He was truly terrified and so was Harley except she wasn't showing it. An alarm started to sound very loudly. "Shit hide!" Harley exclaimed. Ace and Harley dropped down into the grimy water and hide under the sister's house behind moss.
Every house occupant all ran to the center of the cannibal village on a circular wooden platform. The sisters were the last to come out of the house and Ace and Harley were stunned. The three beautiful Asian sisters were now revealed to be old wrinkled crones. Tao's skin was entirely covered with flesh eating maggots then entered and exited the holes. Mai's face was completely void of skin as if burnt off. What made Ace want to vomit was Ren. Ren's skin was all clawed at and infected, pus spewing out of numerous spots on her body. The youngest sister had not only put a spell on him but she had left her taste in his mouth. Right before Harley entered the room Ren had put a stasis spell on Ace, allowing her to partake in kissing pleasures.
"We have a two runaways! A whore with red hair and a piercing! And a man with the legendary brand! If we find him we will share his glorious flesh! You may do whatever you wish with the whore's body, and we mean anything." Tao said. The cannibals all shouted in a native tongue before running across decks into the surrounding swamp. "Follow my lead." Ace whispered. Ace began whispering to himself and then breathed in. He then kissed Harley on the lips and exhaled. "Go under." Ace said. Harley was blushing, despite the unfolded events.
Ace then closed his right eye and touched the closed eyelid. He then touched Harley's closed eye lid which allowed them both to see much more clearly in the murky water. Ace motioned for her to follow him and he slowly went under the water's surface. They slowly swam through the brown water under the decks. Whenever someone walked across the deck above them, they stopped moving entirely.
Ace and Harley crept for what seemed like hours under the wooden platforms in the murky bloody water. When they finally reached the shore of the swamp, they climbed up the bank and ran quickly into the dense trees. "Run now go." Ace yelled at Harley as they ran for their lives. Ace wanted to go back and kill every single one of the horrible cannibals but was scared. He'd never faced magic as evil as this.
They ran and ran until their legs hurt and then they ran even more. They desperately tried to get away from the sisters and now they thought they were in the clear. Ace turned to say something to Harley but was stopped when a large staff was thrown at his face. The staff his him dead center and flew back into the darkness. Ren then stepped out of the darkness. "Now now. Don't go running away." Ren said. "Get away from me you monster!" Ace yelled brandishing his knives. "Now listen I don't want to eat you. I say you taste way better alive." Ren said licking her scarred lips. "I wanna bring you back, tie you up, and explore each and every thing I can do with you." Ren finished. "Fuck you!" Ace spat back at her. "Well I mean if you insist I'm sure we can…. Work that in somehow." Ren said readying her staff.
Thorn-like extensions protrude in a random pattern along the entire metal staff but has been wrapped in leather with gilded linings. The bottom ends in an elongated marquise shape made of wood and has been decorated with a savagely encased orb that glows even in the darkest darkness. She ran forward and started swinging wildly at Ace.
Ace dodged each attack and blocked a few creating sparks as he fought for his life. Harley burst in with her weapon, a repeater crossbow. She opened a magic portal and brought it out. The front of the cross bow was fashioned in the shape of an eagle's head and the two limbs that branched out were fashioned as wings. Gears rapidly moved to cock back the string as it was reloaded. She threw a storm of bolts at Ren, who spun the staff around faster than she could track and blocked them all. Ace took this moment to start attacking from the right side.
Ren was put into a predicament as she had to block attacks from the left and the right. This continued on for a short time before Ace was getting tired. Ren wasn't fatigued at all. She spun around and hit Ace in the chest, knocking him away towards a tree. She turned and ran towards Harley, who desperately fired the last of her bolts at the crone. Ren blocked them all. Halfway towards Harley, her crossbow made a clicking noise, signaling she was out of bolts.
Ren jumped into the air and readied to slam the sharp thorns of the staff into Harley's body. As she reached her highest point in the air, a chainsaw like noise was heard. Ren's eyes widened as a shape flew through the darkness and swung a blade down against the staff, pushing her down to the earth. Ren landed on her back and quickly rolled away before jumping up. She barely had enough time to block the next attack. The blade seemed to grind away at the metal. "Stage three! Release!" Burberry shouted as the blade kicked into overdrive and cut through the whole staff and the body of Ren in an instant.
